Red Fish Grill

Red
Fish Grill
is credited with revitalizing the once sleepy block that is now the lively
‘gateway' to the French Quarter, and continues to provide a welcome oasis from
the Bourbon Street mayhem. Casual and cool, funky and fun, this is the place
for straight-up Gulf seafood.

Chef Austin
Kirzner, a New Orleans native, relies on local farmers and fishermen to
provide its kitchen with the freshest possible seasonal bounty for the raw bar
and the New Orleans classics on the menu, as well as his more exotic creations.
Red Fish Grill has earned its stripes as a master in coastal cuisine. The BBQ Oysters,
flash fried, and tossed in a Crystal BBQ sauce, have been named a "Most Memorable Meal" according for
Forbes.com and USA Today, and the restaurant in itself was named one of the
2012 "Best Seafood Restaurants in the U.S." by Travel + Leisure.
The signature Hickory
Grilled Redfish ‘on the half-shell' is the restaurant's worthy
namesake, and the Shrimp Po'Boy has been voted the best in
town.

Bare tables, a cement floor, and exposed
brick form the industrial chic backdrop for the colorful décor commissioned of
local artist Luis Colmenares, who has embellished just about every surface of
the main dining room and bar with sea creatures: giant pearl-bearing oyster sculptures
preside over the oyster bar; a monumental red fish defines the predominant
wall; scores of painted metal fish swim overhead - and an octopus clings to a
pendant light. Smaller private rooms
depart from the theme, but are no less vibrant, painted in cheery mustard
yellow. Accommodating private receptions
for up to 500, and full-service dining for up to 250, Red Fish Grill is an
ideal location for special events. Red Fish Grill is the go-to place for flavorful,
un-fussy Gulf seafood.
